Why the study?
Endurance exercise causes cardiac troponin elevation, but whether this rise represents clinical significance remains of interest.
Does marathon running cause different high-sensitivity troponin T elevations in healthy runners compared to those with heart disease or who collapse?
Does marathon running cause different high-sensitivity troponin T elevations in healthy runners compared to those with heart disease or who collapse?
Marathon running induces an asymptomatic rise in high-sensitivity troponin T that correlates with baseline levels, but this rise is not exacerbated by pre-existing heart disease or race-related collapse.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Similar post-marathon cTnT rises regardless of heart disease or collapse; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Leckie et al. (2019) studied this question.
